Insulin resistance impairs glucose-stimulated insulin secretion
Published in Obesity and Diabetes Week, March 20th, 2006
"Although insulin resistance induces compensatory increases in beta cell mass and function to maintain normoglycemia, it is not clear whether insulin resistance can precipitate beta cell dysfunction and hyperglycemia without a pre-existing beta cell susceptibility. We therefore examined the beta cell phenotype in the MKR mouse, a model in which expression of a dominant-negative IGF 1 receptor (IGF1R) in skeletal muscle leads to systemic insulin resistance and diabetes," scientists writing in the journal Diabetologia...
